Our strategy for ranking clients in an AI system like ChatGPT is to employ a Reverse-Engineered Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) process. This involves first using natural-language prompts to identify the exact, high-authority third-party sources the AI relies on for local business recommendations (e.g., Yelp, Google Business Profile, top local lists). The core of our work then shifts to aggressively optimizing and building authority for our client on those specific platforms through consistent, high-volume positive reviews, accurate business data (NAP), and securing mentions in reputable local media; by dominating the AI's source material, we ensure the client is the most trusted, logical, and frequently cited business in the AI's generated response.
